Exclusions

In no event shall Conserv Appliances be liable for incidental or consequential damages or for damages resulting from external causes such as abuse, misuse, incorrect voltage, or acts of God. This warranty does not cover service calls that do not involve defective workmanship or materials covered by this warranty. Accordingly, diagnosis and repair costs for a service call that does not involve defective workmanship or materials will be the responsibility of the consumer-owner.

Specifically, the following work is not covered under warranty and does not constitute warranty work:

Installation – e.g. installing incorrectly
Maintenance – e.g. cleaning appliances using solvents
Mishandling- e.g. breakage of shelves

Most work is covered. The defining factor is, has the machine malfunctioned (Connery Appliances is responsible) or has the customer omitted or did something to cause the machine to malfunction (customer is responsible).
